Chords with lyrics
G+G
Run your fingers through your hair
C majorC
Let's pick up from where we left off
G+G C majorC
Call all your friends, announce the new victory
G+G D MajorD
Once you were sweet to me, knock it off
C majorC
The music doesn't move you, doesn't soothe you
G+G
Doesn't prove you're worth a dime
C majorC
You work 'round the clock, watch it tick and tock
G+G D MajorD
But this isn't your time
C majorC G+G
Move over son, it's my turn to shine
Was there ever a moment
C majorC
One small slice in history
G+G
When I took you seriously?
When your belt and your shoes
C majorC G+G
Did not announce your poor taste so fearlessly?
D MajorD
'Cause that's news to me
C majorC
And you can forget it, I get it
G+G C majorC
I just don't let it get to me
G+G C majorC
I regret to inform I do not fret or mourn
G+G
The way things used to be
C majorC
It's all in the past now, it's all gone
C majorC G+G C majorC
And the only way into the sun is walking
G+G
But you'd rather run
D MajorD C majorC
You'd rather run away
G+G
The songs he writes are for "dad"
C majorC G+G
The true love lost 'fore he ever had
C majorC
If stories begun "If father loved son"
G+G
We wouldn't be feelin' so bad
D MajorD
But doesn't everyone?
C majorC
And it's not that I hate you
G+G C majorC
I never loved you enough to hate you
G+G C majorC
To get even or mad so as not to seem sad
G+G
Just seems ungrateful
C majorC G+G
'Cause I am thankful I'm sad
Maybe we're the same unabashed and unashamed
C majorC G+G
Then again, I dunno where you came from
You keep carvin' out names
C majorC
First Jamie then James
G+G
And I can't keep up to restrain you
D MajorD
How come?
C majorC G+G
We two came together for worst and for better
It's true
C majorC
And the weather is clever
G+G D MajorD
But she's not the only one getting over you
C majorC
It's me, too
C majorC G+G C majorC
And the only way into the sun is walking
G+G
But you'd rather run
D MajorD C majorC
You'd rather run away
G+G C majorC
My god, it's no fun to watch you play dumb
G+G
With your ugly hand on her thigh
C majorC G+G
And she's nervous too, but politeness eschews
G+G C majorC
The impulse to finger deny
G+G D MajorD
Plus, your girlfriend's a spy
C majorC G+G
And what would she think to look up from her drink
C majorC
And find you in your sad little vest tryin' hard to undress
G+G
The girls you sat down next to?
C majorC
She'll think nothing
G+G
She'll be thinking of you
G+G
I'm glad I don't know the places you go
C majorC G+G
I'm glad for you and for them
C majorC G+G C majorC
Let's be discreet if we are to meet on Ludlow ever again
D MajorD
Don't mention Ben
C majorC G+G
It's funny what you miss, it's funny what you don't
C majorC G+G C majorC
I've thought it all through, the potential to fondly reminisce is this:
I won't
C majorC G+G C majorC
And the only way into the sun is walking
G+G
But you'd rather run
D MajorD C majorC
You'd rather run away
G+G
Don't say we got along
C majorC
That's remarkably wrong
It doesn't suggest or imply
G+G C majorC
The thing about us you don't dare discuss
G+G D MajorD
We never got along famously, we just tried
C majorC G+G
I tried to be good, I tried to be gracious and kind
C majorC G+G D MajorD
But working with you has done nothing but prove a total waste of time
C majorC G+G
'Cause the real curse is your mind
And sometimes at night I stare at the ceiling
C majorC G+G
And wonder what's wrong with me
To involve myself with people
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Who don't know what my true feeling might possibly be
C majorC G+G
Who latch onto my strength like it's all they've got
C majorC
It takes all of my strengths
G+G
And I go through such lengths
C majorC G+G C majorC
To show them it is not what they think they are stealing
C majorC G+G C majorC
And the only way into the sun is walking
G+G
But you'd rather run
D MajorD C majorC
You'd rather run away
C majorC G+G C majorC
Yes, the only way into the sun is walking
G+G
But you'd rather run
D MajorD C majorC
